bigthumb Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) For sale is my pride and joy. I waited a long time to find one as good as this and never dreamed I'd have to sell it but... The pictures speak for themselves, its a stunner with not issues to report. Its all good! Frets, neck, bodywork, electronics and finish. Older Thumbs are a bit heavier than the newer ones which is a small pay off considering the superior overall quality of the old handmade instruments. I would rather not post it as I only have a gig bag left now so I'd rather it be collected or I would meet half way within reason but please PM me if this would be a problem as I'm sure something can be sorted out. Anyhow picture time! I'll post some more pics if required. Cheers, Paul Edited June 19, 2011 by bigthumb

What do you fancy?[/quote] I would be after a half decent 4 string fretted to use as my main (and only) bass. Ideally I would want a cash sale for the Thumb and get something cheapish until I sort myself out. Something along the lines of a G&L Tribby would be great.
bassbora Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I have the 5 string version of this one (EMG pu as well). Amazing basses and I will never part with mine. Loved it so much I got the 6 st fretless of littleal of here. Nothing like the '80s Thumbs. Have a bump on me for a fantastic bass.
joe_bass Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) I've got a 5 string 1991 thumb, Warwicks from this era really are the dogs bollocks! Edited June 2, 2011 by joe_bass
Schnozzalee Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Why does it have EMGs? I thought all Warwicks started out with MECs but i'm no expert!

GreeneKing Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 I can't believe you're selling this Paul (then again I sold mine didn't I (doh) ). It's worth every penny folks, and more. These basses are a bit special. Peter

bigthumb Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 BUMP! for any more trade offers? Had a great offer on a Status 5 but what with my limited capabilities I can only manage 4's I would need a fair chunk of cash though to get me out of the s***.
